OAKLAND (BCN)

The FBI agent whose semi-automatic firearm was stolen from their vehicle in Oakland was cited, Oakland police said.

The weapon, a magazine loaded with .45-caliber ammunition and a jacket with official FBI markings were stolen from the agent's vehicle in the parking lot of the Hegenberger Shopping Center at 8459 Edgewater Drive in Oakland at about 8:40 p.m. on July 10.

The firearm was recovered earlier this month. The FBI did not say whether the ammunition and FBI jacket were also recovered.

"Leaving guns unsecured in unattended vehicles creates a serious danger and risk to the public," Oakland City Council President Rebecca Kaplan had said in a statement following the incident.
